Delayed Mode TSG data of the SURVOSTRAL project
Written by Elodie Kestenare in May 2010 (last updated: July 2020)
- Project: SURVOSTRAL international program
- Description: In-situ sea surface temperature and salinity from the TSG installed on the Astrolabe vessel (IPEV)
- Period: 1993-2020
- Area: Southern Ocean between Hobart (Tasmania) and Dumont d'Urville -the French Antarctic base-
- Source: LEGOS, France
- contact: Rosemary Morrow or Elodie Kestenare at LEGOS
The delayed mode datasets are available for two different periods: 1993-2002 and 2002-2017
I. Delayed-mode data, 2002-2017
The data are freely downloadable here (see README.txt file for details)
Netcdf files are at the GOSUD format
